Been using it for 5 years. now I think the machine up lorry. cannot detect network signal. called starhub. they say cannot repair now. got to rent from them for $8 per month for recording function machine. I fed up now. they say they can send techican to check the machine. if confirm spoilt, I got to change to a rental one. I'm actually using the hub station for broadband. if I give up starhub cable completely, I will have to sign up for broadband plan. any advise? what alternative I have? can PM me if not convenient

Hi All Bros, Need some advice. I intend to get a WIRELESS-G ROUTER WGR614 for the Starhub's hubstation, and connect the two devices via the ethernet port. Since the hubstation is a router itself, can I install wireless access point instead? http://www.netgear.com/Products/Routersand...ers/WGR614.aspx Basically, I plan to have a wireless setup for the hubstation, with reasonable good coverage but at a low cost. What are my options? BTW, any issue with G-router's signal strength if blocked by a solid wall?

My 3 years old DVR giving problem....the image cannot appear properly on TV, was using RCA cable, so bought S-video cable to try still don't work....not sure how much to repair but tempting to get a new one...hehe Check around - cheapest DVR (LG - W/O HDD) is around SGD199, (LG -160G HDD) is abt SGD388..... Am also considering starhub HubStation (160G HDD) with recording function and cost me additional SGD4+/mth since I am already paying SGD4+ for my digital set-up box....however not too sure about the function, any MCFer using it and can share with me the following: 1. Can hubstation records free-to-air channel? 2. Must we turn on the hubstation before recording? or it will auto turn on when recording time is reach? 3. SH calimed the hubstation can view one program and record another, does this mean we need to have two sets of cable and two channels (of TV) ? if so, while recording, can we switch program (using SH remote control) to check recording program and revert back to our cureent watching program? 4. Any other unique good and bad points about hubstation as comapre to a stand alone DVR? Thanks in advance for sharing the information.

Hi Bro, As above, I use HDMI cable for my DVD player, but as for the hubstation, is there a different in picture quality between a component and AV cable? According to wikipedia, the max resolution for the cables are: Composite (AV) - 728 x 576 Component -1920

The Current Starhub Hubstation Ad. About Soccer fans missing bits of the action Is probably one of the WORST Ads I've ever seen. On any channel. In the past 20 years. Horrendous actors. Lousy Lines. Completely Charisma-free delivery of lines. Who in the world gets paid to script/direct this crap? Who in the world gets paid to act as bad as they have? Shouldn't Starhub subscribers be paid to have to suffer through crap Ads like this? Someone should get fired for making such awful bs.

just wondering how is the quality of the free 1 Mbps broadband comes together with Hubstation? Is it acceptable for single user and multiple user? If I remember correctly, current 8 Mbps broadband is upgraded from 1.5 Mbps previously, thought 1Mbps should be similar to 1.5 Mbps last time?

Hi, anyone on hubstation? is it good and reliable? I getting very tempted to get this for new home. Now starhub have roadshows and hubstation is going for $197. i have seen the recording demo and can even sent SMS to starhub mobile users!! its quite impressive!!

Dear users of Hubstation, I would appreciate your feedback on this machine. Thinking of getting it but saw quite a few bad reviews on Hardwarezone. All comments appreciated!

Comes with a 2yr contract at S$304 but it give you 1Mps boardband free and you can record SCV plus digital voice? Anyone had applied and can comment? Thinking of getting it but is it worth it?

SingTel launches Internet protocol TV in Singapore Posted: 20 July 2007 1819 hrs Photos 1 of 1 http:/// SINGAPORE : Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) on Friday announced its entry into the pay television market, offering an Internet protocol-based service to challenge the monopoly of rival StarHub. SingTel's Chief Executive for Singapore operations Allen Lew says SingTel will spend S$30 million in the current fiscal year to develop the service. "The next generation of television watching has arrived. Customers have been calling for choice and flexibility in the pay TV market and now they have it," he says. IPTV refers to the delivery of video or TV signals using Internet Protocol, usually via a broadband connection and a set-top box connected to the TV. The new mio TV service, featuring 33 channels, will start on Saturday and will be cheaper than StarHub's monthly minimum cable TV fee of S$29.96. It will also offer high-definition television, or HDTV, content, giving a clearer, more vivid picture and could reach 85 percent of Singapore households. The new service includes free-to-air channels by MediaCorp, blockbuster movies as well as a Cantonese movie channel. MediaCorp's much anticipated HD5 will also be available on mio TV. This will be the first free-to-air high-definition channel in Singapore which subscribers with HD-ready displays can enjoy, as all mio TV Set-Top Boxes are HD-ready at no extra cost. Lucas Chow, CEO, MediaCorp, says: "Other than the HD5 channel (through) which we will be providing high-definition content, we will also be providing content that most probably you'll see on mio TV first before you see it on our free-to-air television. What it means is that now the viewers other than receiving our signals free to air, over the antenna, can also receive our signals over their IPTV channels." In addition, SingTel has successfully inked an unprecedented output deal with Sony Pictures Television International that brings viewers Sony's upcoming slate of feature films at the same time as the DVD release and before they are seen anywhere else on TV. The deal also includes key titles from Sony's extensive catalogue of feature films. SingTel said mio TV's a la carte price plans allow customers to pay only for what they want to watch. No longer do customers have to contend with restrictive basic tier subscription packages. mio TV will also be among the first in the world to introduce on-demand channels to the Singapore market. This option allows viewers to choose from up to 25 selected movies for unlimited viewing for only S$12 per month. This means movies, anytime, for as low as 50 cents each. Launching the event on Friday, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development Youth and Sports, cautions the industry to keep its objective clear. He says: "We can compete all we like, we can slash prices all we like, we can deliver content more efficiently but at the end of the day the two key things are content and services. It is the way companies successfully innovate to deliver content and services that will give you a lasting competitive edge." And Dr Balakrishnan believes that can be achieved through investing in research and development in this fast changing field. SingTel, Singapore's biggest company by stock market value and Southeast Asia's biggest telephone operator, had received a licence to offer the service in January. Besides TV, IPTV operators can also offer viewers video-conferencing and interactive applications such as gaming. - CNA/ch
